Sorry if this doesn't fit the sub, i didn't have anywhere to turn without getting flooded with unsubstantiated claims. Thank you

Did this ever happen? Or were Indian languages only for the poors, the people of India, Pakistan, and Bangladesh?

I am having a hard time finding copies on the internet of papers written by some people in the past. People such as Thomas Young, James Clerk Maxwell, Wilhelm Rontgen, Heinrich Hertz.... any one know where to look to find the papers that these people wrote?? Thanks.

Hello, I am working on a project on my own and I would like to know if Ships were recycled and purposely dismantled to re-use parts of their materials? If so, on what scale were they dismantled (fully, partially, or barely?), and when was the first documented appearance of such practice?

​

Thanks in advance!

More specifically, I suppose, I'm curious what (if we even know) set the specific royal families apart? At the earliest stages of the monarchies of the time, what made one person's family so special over the others? Were they descended from chieftains?

It just occurred to me that while I know the lineage of, for example, Queen Elizabeth is easy to trace back, what I don't remember ever learning is where it started, and what made that first King way back special enough that people by and large just went along with it.

like amenities. Rooms. Stuff in general. Like what did it look like?

I'm interested in how the peoples of this region lived, and why they decided to live there in spite of how arctic and dire these areas are to live in.

EDIT: I accidentally wrote Metis as Meniks, sorry about that

When I was still in school, we were taught that the european powers were very much disturbed by the french revolution - the ideas of the republic were viewed as dangerous for the current order, and it was one of the reasons for the intervention that eventually occurred.

However, that wasn't the first time a king was deposed and a republic was installed - that already happened in England centuries before. Admittedly, I don't think the changes were as radical, but I still see some similarities.

So it makes me wonder - what did the contemporaries outside of England think of what happened? Did they view it with the same disturbance? Did they care? Do we even know?

From reading Sade's text, i often thought that Sade had well-earned him the reputation as the most psychotic figure in the revolution, given his advocacy for rape and other sexual crimes.

And yet, i've seen some accounts that his books are merely meant to be a commentary on humanity and a satire of French society at the time, specially the nobility, and Sade was simply commenting and criticizing the attitudes of the community that he lived in, possibly even showcasing it's depravity as a form of condemmation given that he was against the death penalty (even if he had earned a genuine reputation as a Casanova)

And yet i've seen other people give descriptions of him drugging prostitutes and sexually abusing his servants and coercing them into having sex with him. Overall, i've seen many sources give different opinions on Sade and many people who regard him either as a sexual revolutionary or as a predator who barely contained his urges. So, which account is true?

Did they own their own estates with peasants working them? Did they collect any form of taxes? Or were they funded by the Bakfu and various Daimyo who afaik took care of most taxation?

She said that because Europeans spent more time indoors meant they had more idle time to think about things, including certain revolutionary ideas, which led to the Enlightenment. Is any of this true?

Did they have a closet? Some sort of armoire? a whole separate room?

If I am correct, the Germans were right there. They were right on the verge of taking Moscow but then utter catastrophe and as the years went by they were pushed back to pre-invasion borders. Everyone says the winter, but is this actually true?

What are all the factors that completely destroyed the German's mighty success in the Soviet Union?

Are there any extant samples of the native Celtic languages spoken in Britain when it was under Roman rule? In other words, what would the language of Boudica or Caractacus have sounded like? I am familiar with the historical texts on Britain by Roman writers including Tacitus (He describes Boudica and Caractacus in his Annals, for example), Dio Cassius, and Julius Caesar (the first invasion of Britain). All of those texts on Roman Britain that I know of are in Latin, but are there any truly authentic sources for the Celtic language spoken around the first century AD in Britain? I have not been able to find any such sources thus far.

How much cultural continuity is there between the different arctic peoples? We know that humans migrated across the Bering land bridge to get to the Americas. My assumption is that you had arctic people slowly making the journey across, until one day the bridge became closed to us.

So, when we look at cultural practices and archeological artifacts, do we see similarities between these peoples? Like for example the Nenets and the Inuit?

When compared to other long standing empires like the Chinese and Persian empires civil wars seem to happen more often with the Romans.
